You upload product binaries to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager repository and map the binaries by using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager UI.

During the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment, the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Easy Installer uploads and maps the binary files for vRealize Automation and Workspace ONE Access. After the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager deployment, you upload and map the product binary files for vRealize Operations Manager and vRealize Log Insight.
If your organization restricts external access on the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance, you obtain the necessary product binaries from the My VMware repository. After that, you upload and discover the product binaries to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance directly.
Table 1. Product Binary Files

Alternatively, if your organization does not restrict external access on the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance, you can download the product binaries for install and upgrade by using a registration of vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager with a My VMware account. See Register the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Instance with My VMware.
